Third-party reviews

What we like about AEG T86594EIH ÖKO-LAVATHERM

  • The 9 kg capacity takes a large load in one go.
  • The A++ energy class means low energy use per load.
  • Front loading gives easy access to the drum.
  • It is self-standing, so no built-in fitting is needed.
  • The 63 cm depth keeps it from sticking far out from the wall.
  • The 85 cm height leaves a flat top for a laundry basket.

What we don't like about AEG T86594EIH ÖKO-LAVATHERM

  • At 60 cm wide, it needs a clear strip of floor.
  • The front door needs open space in front to load and empty.
  • Being self-standing, it cannot be hidden in a built-in gap.
  • It stands in view in the room rather than behind cupboard doors.

Verdict

A 9 kg drum is the main reason to look at the AEG T86594EIH ÖKO-LAVATHERM, a front-loading dryer for a family with a steady, heavy pile of washing. One load can take a bulky duvet or a week of towels, so there are fewer runs to get through each week. Its A++ energy class puts it near the efficient end of the scale, which keeps the power bill lower over time. It is self-standing, so it can stand in a utility room or kitchen with no built-in fitting needed. The trade-off is the width. At 60 cm it needs a clear floor space, so measure the spot carefully before you order. It suits a busy home that wants to save on energy and has the room for it.
